What is the make and model of the PSU? If it's horrible quality, you could do with an upgrade?
Also, what case do you have? Need to know to make sure whatever GPU we recommend is compatible.

You can get a GTX 1070 within budget. GTX 1070s aren't as hard to find or as ridiculously overpriced as GTX 1060s and AMD RX GPUs, yet.

That said, a 6GB GTX 1060 or an RX 480/580 would be fine, I just wouldn't be paying any more than £260-270 for one, if you can find any.

It was £360 when I posted it. It must have shot up in price soon after I posted. GTX 1070s are getting hard to find so just get whichever you can find at a reasonable price if you're getting a 1070. I definitely wouldn't be paying more than £400 for one, I'd be trying to get one as close to £360 as possible.

Stock is piss poor right now, but decent 1070 for £355.

Best option other than that IMO, is to buy used.
